Seniors home faces demolition, 6 detained

SHANGHAI: Six employees of a seniors home that the government wants to knock down have been taken away and held by police.

About 50 police and public security officials descended on the Shanghai Minsheng Home for the Elderly on Saturday afternoon.

"They distributed leaflets claiming our home is running illegally and asking the elderly to move to other seniors homes," said the home's director Zhang Minsheng.
